[Motorola Droid RAZR] DOA7791:
Please make an educated decision for yourself.

I have been reading these posts, and wanted to add some additional feedback.

No 1. This IS a defect, Period. as to the extent and the validity of it from the Moto. camp that is not for me to discuss. As a perfect example you buy a brand new 3D LED big screen and see these same defects, are you going to keep it? only an idiot would say yes. Why should your phone be any different, I'm sure you use it more.

No 2. This does NOT affect the day to day uses of this phone, normally. the cases with the large line or lines down the screen can be a bother.

No 3. When spending $600+ on a phone is it reasonable to "expect" this sub standard quality? absolutely not. If you got this phone on a deal for under $200 can you live with it? most likely.

No 4. These defects DO in fact change. I am on my 5th and final one due to these defects. this one still has the defect, but only 1 noticeable one and about half the size of a pencil eraser. This being said, my 1st one had the line down the right w/misc. other "blotches" 2nd had 2-3 large blotches about the size of an American dime, 3rd had random blotches all over BUT on day one just had a couple, but by day 4 the number of blotches had grown to about the equivalent of 1/8 of the screen if grouped together, and the 4th had a line down the left side of the screen. A "standard" "defect" would be uniform, but these are definitely NOT. they are also NOT on 100% of the phones 90+% yes, but there are the occasional "defect" free models. The date code IS a primary factor (this can be found by looking at the sticker on the reverse of the phone upon purchase. it is the 3rd barcode, and is in the format of Productionweek/year {00/12 being the 1st week of 2012 and 49/11 being the 49th week of 2011 for example})

**IN SUMMARY**

​

As a consumer you need to make an educated decision about this issue for yourself, and in my personal opinion this should be disclosed from the beginning. As a consumer you are entitled to know from the beginning if there "could" be something you may or may not be able to live with for the next 2yrs. This defect may in all honesty be of little to no significance to you, But you SHOULD make that educated decision for yourself. Do I feel like the razr is an amazing phone... ABSOLUTELY. Has this issue bothered me... Absolutely (5th Razr should show that). As a consumer you really should take the time and decide for yourself, but keep in mind 2 things. one, make your decision quickly, and do be overly critical, after all it is your money, and you are the one that has to live with it. Two, not all verizon stores/customer service associates will be understanding so be extremely polite when addressing this. You CAN ask the associate to power it up, and escort you to a dark room for you to inspect the level of defect before doing any programming, or purchase. (remember this is a courtesy, and politeness will get you further).

I URGE you to Please evaluate this for yourself, and as for other posters, I will not argue no debate any of these points. Frankly, i don't care about anyone's opinion, it is My money spent on the phone.

Please make the educated decision for yourself.
